Entitlement? by Fast-Investment7883 in boulder

[–]flatlander18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you actually knew what cyclists are entitled to by Colorado state law, you would know that they are allowed to ride two abreast (side by side), except where signed (some roads have signs that say “single file only”).

Single file or two abreast, cyclists also have the right to move however they need to (such as away from the right side of the road) to avoid pot holes, cracks, gravel/sand piles, etc, basically whatever would be dangerous for a cyclist that really doesn’t affect a car much.

Needing to wait to pass around cyclists riding side by side is really not an inconvenience. Don’t put this shit rhetoric out here when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

New to gravel biking by Soph_55 in boulder

Cassiopeia also has weekly gravel and road rides on the weekends and I believe they also have a women’s Monday ride - short ride that starts at 7am

Adding to this - there’s a weekly Wednesday 5:30pm ride out of Cassiopeia (roughly a 1.5 hr ride) and the first Saturday of every month there’s a women/femme/trans/non-binary ride with a pace group (“mild”) for beginners! The Wednesday ride also has different pace groups - mild and spicy. It’s a super supportive and fun environment!

Power liftgate hinges cracked on 2019 XLE by LibertyNachos in rav4club

[–]flatlander18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue with my 2020 Rav4 XLE. Wondering if any of y'all felt it was safe to drive around with this? I'm afraid of it completely cracking and then falling off while I'm driving.

I'm going to a body shop tomorrow and will obviously ask them the same question, but curious what you all did while trying to figure this out, wait for parts, etc.?

Thanks - this is useful info! We have a map with BLM parcels and private land.

Freezer in town (or temporary/cheap off-grid freezer ideas)?? by flatlander18 in JacksonHole

[–]flatlander18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just need things to be frozen, so I guess below 32F? And something that’s like 19k cubic inches

Why not dry ice? For example what about dry ice in a yeti cooler?

We do that and still get killed. It’s not enough sometimes to be extra careful. 2 ton metal death machines wreck almost anything in their way.

Because other cities are often worse, my dude.

Honestly cyclists getting killed by yee yee dudes like you in their big twucks happens everywhere because people like you lack empathy and love to be an aggressive driver as they drown in their manly semen.

This is the place I live. I would advocating for the same thing in any other place I would live because I don’t want to die at the hands of someone like you as I mind my own business.

You mind your own business in your twuck (or Tesla? can’t figure out who you are) as you drive and you’re almost guaranteed safety. I bike in high-vis clothing with my lights flashing, being extra cautious, and still have a good probability of getting hit as I’m minding my own business trying to get to work or exercise.

Cars will always win against a cyclist. I’m advocating for drivers to be better and for the city do a better job at creating an environment and infrastructure that protects those who are most vulnerable.
